 Tired of your favorite food being banned...fight back with a Pizza machine...
The "News" this week have been all agogged with the story of the banning of "Big Gulps" from New York. Now I am reading about them trying the same with milkshakes and popcorn. So "Hear Me Brothers and Sisters" for I bring good news. A1 Concepts, based out of the Netherlands has come up with "... a pizza vending machine that promises to deliver a piping hot pizza pie made from scratch in less than three minutes."

So as Admiral David Glasgow Farragut would say "Damn the politicians, full stomachs ahead".

Cool idea, but I'll stick to the antiquated method of ordering a pizza over the internet and having someone bring it right to my door.

Interesting idea, but it's a high-maintenance vending machine, both with restocking and servicing/repair-wise.
As for toppings, I wonder what they are (aside from cheese)--mushroom, pepperoni, olives, etc.?

There are more than 200 toppings from which to choose.
I can't even name 200 toppings!

"The best number is 73. Why? 73 is the 21st prime number. Its mirror (37) is the 12th and its mirror (21) is the product of multiplying, 7 and 3. ... In binary, 73 is a palindrome, 1001001 which backwards is 1001001."
-Dr. Sheldon Cooper, (Jim Parsons), "Big Bang Theory"
"Just to invite your attention to "73" in Morse code--also a palindrome."

D'oh--I must've glossed over the 200 topping part. 200?! "What, no Oreos?

This machines output might compete with the grocery store brand frozen pizzas. Why bother?

LOL!!! I spent almost 40 years in food service and every few years someone came out with one of these machines. They never have stayed around for very long. I assume the cost of upkeep vastly exceeds the profits.

I would think so. Someone has to go in there and clean everything up, and make sure the pizza toppings haven't expired their shelf life. Then, it needs to be restocked. The food cost alone would sink you if you didn't track what the machine was making.
"America's quiet warriors are the legion of ham radio operators, 700,000 of them, who are always at ready for backup duty in emergencies – amateur, unpaid, uncelebrated, civilian radio operators, during and after floods and fires and tornadoes. After the 9/11 attacks, hams were indispensable in reuniting friends and families. Most recently it was they who expedited the search for debris after the Columbia Explosion , and right now, at this moment, they are involved in homeland security to a greater degree than you would want me to make public."

We have ACMs here
Those are Automatic Cupcake Machines.
And the stuff is really fresh, as the bakery's right behind them and constantly replenishing the machines with freshly baked cupcakes. Nothing is ever more than a day old.
Some of the popular machines are serving over 1000 cupcakes a day:
